St Lucia T10 Blast, 2020 – Match 14, Babboneau Leatherbacks vs Vieux Fort North Raiders: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The 14th match of the 2020 St Lucia T10 Blast will be played between Vieux Fort North Raiders and Babboneau Leatherbacks at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Ground in Gros Islet, St Lucia.

The match starts at 2:30 PM local time (12:00 AM IST – Next Day) (6:30 PM GMT). This match can be streamed live on Fan code.

Preview:

The Vieux Fort North Raiders got off to the worst possible start in the tournament, conceding 166 runs in their opening game to the Gros Islet Cannon Blasters. It seems like they got their campaign back on track with a decent performance against the Laborie Bay Royals and registered a much-needed win.

They will be locking horns with a side who are struggling horribly in the tournament, losing their first game by 50 runs and the second one by a staggering 96 runs. This could turn out to be a pretty one-sided contest considering a fact that the Leatherbacks don’t have a strong enough squad and the North Raiders do pack a punch with the bat.

Weather Report

Not the most promising of weather forecasts with some showers being predicted for the day. But the temperatures will remain pretty good for a game of cricket.

Top Picks

Junior Peter registered a brilliant 45 in the last game, which makes a great case for him to be the only wicket-keeper choice in the playing XI. He can also be tried out as a captain in the grand league, he could provide you some differential points. Ernell Sextius is an all-round performer capable of contributing with the bat and ball. He should be a safer option for captaincy.

Thomas Caleb, the most experienced player among the Leatherbacks, hasn’t fired all cylinders as yet but is more than capable of taking the starring the show. Shervon Joseph showed some promise with the bat and could come in handy in the middle order.

Once again, a top pick for multiplier role would be Shem Paul, who smashed a half-century in the first game and bowled decently in both the games he played. Travis Gifford is another bowling alternative who could contribute well to your fantasy team.
